Michaels, C.C. DeVille, Bobby Dall and Rikki Rockett are gearing up for their first U.S. road trip since 2012. The singer’s focus on his solo career, along with the other members’ creation of side-project the Special Guests, had made it look doubtful that the original quartet would ever tour together again.

The situation was compounded after drummer Rockett was diagnosed with cancer in 2015, leading Michaels to say it was possible that they’d played their last show. “Hopefully we’ll continue to do it in the future," he said last year. "But if not, it was a great journey and a great time.”

In a new lighthearted message on his website, Michaels wrote, “Rocking hard, feeling great. Haven’t killed each other yet, this tour is happening.”

Meanwhile, Michaels has announced the release of a solo single titled “Jorja Bleu” on April 7. He described it as an “emotionally charged” song, inspired by a conversation with his youngest daughter, who asked him, “What if I fall?” He replied, “What if you fly?”

“This is a man sharing his trials and tribulations in such a way that he hopes to inspire his daughter to chase her dreams with no apologies, while keeping her feet planted firmly on the ground,” Michaels said.
